Blizzard has released the long-awaited game Diablo 3 to much fanfare,
and yet to many gamers, much disappointment and frustration because of
the game's DRM system. It requires a permanent internet connection to
play -- moving much of the in-game interaction and logic to the
network. Blizzard is using Diablo 3 to operate an online auction
house, using real-world currency or in-game gold, which in turn can be
exchanged between players to purchase weapons, materials and upgrades
for your in-game character.
